In addition to the aggressive wildlife of Elysium there's also random events to contend with, from bumper harvests and bandits, to the very gates of the underworld opening into Elysium. More rituals and spells can be learned during the game if you have the right resources and find the right locations.

Most factions start with a random set of rituals, a random set of combat spells and together with the random map that will ensure that no two games are the same. Beanstalks, rainbows and tall mountain spires allow ground-born armies to ascend to the clouds. From the clouds flying armies might descend upon the inhabitants of Elysium, only to take to the skies and retreat if their losses were significant. Among the new planes in CoE5 is the sky-realm above Elysium.

But they continue to run in the background and make certain actions or random events more exciting. Although there are many planes you will only rarely have to visit them. Although extremely difficult it is possible to permanently destroy a demon lord by storming inferno and slaying it on that plane. Banishing a devil will force it back to inferno instead of slaying it permanently. So if a demonologist manages to summon a demon lord, there will suddenly be a dark citadel without its master in inferno. There is for instance an Infernal plane that is the home of the devils and the demons. New for the 5th version of Conquest of Elysium is four additional planes to interact with, boats and ports which enables players to travel to islands beyond the main continent of Elysium, three new factions, new rituals and summons for the existing factions, new battle maps for different fortifications, new independent factions that fight each other, new monsters, more and different random events, and much more. With 24 different factions that alone is enough to keep your play dynamic as you vie for control of the map to conquer Elysium. Perhaps you are a Scourge Lord, who’s pyramids of power drain the very life force from Elysium and channel it to him and his Heralds. Perhaps you're a dwarf, who's only concern is mines and produce units at a set rate every turn, focused almost entirely on upgrading those units to survive as long as possible since they are so difficult to replace. Perhaps you're playing a druid, focused on amassing a vast forest and jungle empire from which to harvest ingredients to summon creatures of the woods with no practical need to conquer mines. We're not talking about a unique building here and a unique unit there, we're talking about completely different playstyles, with different mechanics and different goals.
